Updated on Dec 29, 2023 16:53 IST


Looking for a powerful and user-friendly calculator program in Python? In this blog
we will discuss three different methods for calculator program in python.

A calculator performs arithmetic operations along with solving equations,


exponential and trigonometric operations.

But what if we told you that you can create a calculator program in Python yourself!

If you know basic Python programming, we will show you to create a graphical user
interface from scratch that can perform basic arithmetic operations.
So, without further delay, let’s get started.

# Basic Calculations
# Calculator Program in Python by using input() and format() functions

#Promting input from the user

n1 = f loat (input ("Ent er t he First Number: "))


n2 = f loat (input ("Ent er t he Second Number: "))

#addition

print ("{} + {} = ".f ormat (n1, n2))


print (n1 + n2)

#subtraction

print ("{} - {} = ".f ormat (n1, n2))


print (n1 - n2)

#multiplication

print ("{} * {} = ".f ormat (n1, n2))


print (n1 * n2)

#division

print ("{} / {} = ".f ormat (n1, n2))


print (n1 / n2)

Output

Explanation: In the above Program, we take two numeric values (here, we are taking
float data type), and we get all the outputs (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and
division) once we input both numbers.

elif operat ion == 2:


print (n1, "-", n2, "=", subt ract ion(n1, n2))

elif operat ion == 3:


print (n1, "*", n2, "=", mult iplicat ion(n1, n2))

elif operat ion == 4:


print (n1, "/", n2, "=", division(n1, n2))

else:

Explanation:

The above Program is created in three steps:

Step -1: Define Functions: Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, and Division

Step-2: Promoting Input from the user
